Georges River Council is inviting community feedback on its new Draft Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy, now on public exhibition.

The Policy sets out how Council plans to use AI in a safe, transparent and responsible way. As AI becomes more common in organisations, it can help improve services and make work more efficient. At the same time, it raises important issues such as privacy, fairness and trust.

The Draft AI Policy outlines clear rules to guide how AI may be used. It focuses on protecting community data, being open about its use, and ensuring people remain responsible for key decisions.

Key features of the Draft Policy include:

• Strong protections for privacy, data security and records management.

• A risk-based approach to managing AI.

• A public AI register to improve transparency.

• Clear rules to ensure human oversight of decisions.

• Alignment with NSW Government best practice.

Mayor Elise Borg said community input will help shape the final Policy.

"Our community's trust matters. We want to make sure AI is used in a way that is safe, fair and transparent.

"I encourage everyone to have their say and help us get this right."

The Draft Policy is on exhibition until Friday 3 July 2026. Community members are encouraged to share their views and help shape how AI is used across Council services into the future.
